Skimming a single medium sized wall should be a job that an experienced plasterer can complete within a few hours. The plasterer will examine the wall and then check it for dampness or cracks before proceeding to skim it with plaster to form a smooth surface that is suitable for redecoration upon drying. Your plasterer will fill any cracks on the medium sized wall that you need to have skimmed and they will make sure that the wall ends up with a smooth finish that matches the walls in the rest of the room.
